By surface analysis, a proprialization from broadway. The Old English words "brad weg" have been used to name wide roads and associated settlements, in common noun and proper noun forms, for over a thousand years. Documented examples include Broadway, Somerset and Broadway, Worcestershire, England, which are listed in the Domesday Book census of 1086AD as "Bradewie" and "Bradeweia" respectively. Sense of “government of Manitoba” is from the address of the Manitoba Legislative Building, on Broadway in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
